I'm caring for me, who's 76. After a diagnosis of dementia Julián can no longer manage alone. A nursing home would cost far more than we have, and Julián desperately wants to stay at home. I work 30 hours a week and have cut back to look after him, but we need a part-time carer. Julián worked all of his life as a factory worker, and raised 5 children. Now we're trying to give some of that care back. Medication, a hospital bed and a carer for six months will make a huge difference. The carer will be employed through a registered agency and paid directly. I'll share the agency invoices. Where the $1,650 goes: • Hospital bed and mattress rental: $110 • Part-time carer (six months): $1,450 • Mobility aids and bathroom adaptations: $90 Glad we found this place. - Julián

  • hope it all works out, Julián. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

    • How is Julián doing now?

      • keep going. Looking forward to the next update. After 15 years in teaching I know how hard it is to ask for anything

          Sending strength, Julián. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
